NOTES
"From the end of the 1920s, German and Austrian filmmakers settled in Pacific Palisades, followed by cultural and intellectual giants of the Weimar Republic turning the Palisades into a "Weimar under palm trees". While many were successful in exile, others felt as if they were in a "sun prison" far from home. Thomas Blubacher tells of the history of German-speaking exile that is still alive there today, in a foray through the film industry which takes us on a journey to a special place. A story of glamourand great minds"-- Provided by publisher
